Structure of ubiquitylated-Rpn10 provides insight into its autoregulation mechanism

Abstract

Ubiquitin (Ub) receptors are responsible for the recognition of ubiquitylated proteins. Here the authors describe the crystal structure of the ubiquitylated form of the Ub-receptor Rpn10, which suggest that ubiquitylation of Rpn10 promotes its dissociation from the proteasome.
